Sativa and will be too tall

I see now with certainty, my (bag seeds) area a sativa strain. My box was designed for NL, .... AND this is my first time, and test batch .
Should I grow another week , and switch to 12/12? I want to be able to tell the sex of the plant. (seedlings are a little over 2 weeks old)

Also if I have more than one question do I keep posting threads? Or put them in one post?
Well, at this point I will have already exceeded the quota of one, so........do sativa nodes alternate? :)

As a general "tell" the fastest growing, tallest and skinniest will be males.
But not always.
And, a longer veg. will yield greater returns.

Also if I have more than one question do I keep posting threads? Or put them in one post?

Make a bullet list of related questions.

But first, click on the link in my signature and do a search there.
Most of what you need is there.
Best archives on the net!
You will ask mo' betta questions and be better prepared to understand and implement any good advice that you receive.

There's no quota especially with related questions. :)

And yes, Sativa nodes begin to alternate when they are ready for flowering.
But so do Indica kine
If height will be an issue, top them or LST them.

Attempts to sex them too early can be frustrating, they take a long time and then will take more time to reveg.
And all that is stressful to seedlings.

I know the feeling of wanting to do "something".
But this early, it is not advised.

Clicked on link in your signature, and while I found many replies, or questions, it just really didn't help me THIS time.

I had no idea the reply wasn't as simple as the question.

I do appreciate you taking the time to respond, But please do not feel as though you must.

Done!

I've put you on my ignore list.
Won't bother you anymore.

Best of luck,
Weezard

I have seen 6 ft. saliva plants fit in a nice little box that was just 2 ft. tall with aggressive LST'ing ( is aggressive lsting an oxymoron?)
Definitely worth the wait...

I have found with my strain of Indica I can LST it to whatever form I pretty much want. Though with a Sativa I suspect the stretch would be an issue even with Aggressive
LST training. Hey crystaliscious, were those 2 foot Sativa's really wide?

...and Luv2bowl? You just alienated a really helpful and very experienced grower with your reply....I would suggest treading a little more gently in the future.

I wasn't aware people were overly sensitive, about responses.

I come to people with respect, and I reply the same way people reply to me. I appreciate experience, and knowledge, that is why SOME of us are on here.
And I hope who ever I may have offended smokes, vapes, tokes, what ever works. Always sending vibes filled with peace, and laughter.
Will try not to be too brusque, in the future.

@ OMB Hey crystaliscious, were those 2 foot Sativa's really wide? - Kept them trimmed - stayed to about 2 ft. and about 2 ft. wide - thinking about trying to grow one horizontilly in a cloth bag on the wall and have it reach to the other side of the closet 6 ft. away - will it work? <grin> ( I AM serious too!)

I don't do much posting but I read constantly. for my money, Weezard is the guy to follow. I appreciate his lack of ego and his sage advice.

I wish he were here to hold my hand, a favor which would be invaluable.

Yup Weezard is the man, he is vast with knowledge and knows about LED's before there are informational books written about LED's.

There are as many ways to control your tall sativa as there are growers. There's no way you can escape pruning, bending & tying. Shape & size of area will dictate how you do this. Read every thread you can find on lst & hst (low stress training, high stress training), topping & other pruning methods. You will always find more info than you ask for, this is peoples way of making sure you have all the info you NEED for your circumstance. After a while, you'll also see this is more than just a forum board to many, its like our second family & we're a little protective of our respected family members. ~~~PEACE~~~

Actually more than a little protective, but good neighbors and friends make the place nicer. The weez is full of it(info) in a good way, wonder if it's because he lives on an island. I listen to all he says.

Howzit TL?

I'm sure you've browsed my picture albums.
Did you notice that one can comment on the pictures?

See if you can create an album on your profile page.
Just needs one picture, any kine will do.
Maybe I'll leave a "comment".

(See where I'm going here?) :)

I think so.

I thought people would be more "mellowed out" on here, I'm sure 98.9 % are indeed.
I don't give 2 hecks about High School Weed Club.
